Minnesota quarterback gets kicked in the crotch by teammate en route to upset win over Michigan

Latest & Breaking News on Fox News

All sports have unwritten rules, and one of the biggest in football is never kick your own quarterback in the crotch.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s intentional or accidental during the throes of celebration: You just don’t do it.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers did not abide by this, but still managed to take a huge win over Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

CRAZIEST UPSET OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON HAPPENED ON FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP

Last week, Minnesota beat Washington 27-24, a win that led to a euphoric PJ Fleck smearing a player’s blood on his own face, and this week they welcomed the Wolverines to Huntington Bank Stadium.

However, during the game, things got a little rough for QB Drake Lindsey.

The Gophers had just secured a first down, and offensive lineman Bennett Warren was fired up about it.

Understandable, but the issue was that he didn’t make sure the airspace was clear before performing a celebratory kick.

A kick that landed straight to Lindsey’s groin.

Between this and the aforementioned blood-smearing incident, the Gophers may need to take a look in the mirror when it comes to celebrations.

These are getting out of hand.

I didn’t think there was anywhere to go after the blood-smearing, but then here they go, kicking their QB in the nards, and now I have no clue where this goes.

At this rate, they could end up going all Texas on everyone and just let ‘er rip.

Fortunately, they did stick the dismount on their last celebration of the afternoon, when they stormed the field to celebrate the Gophers’ 20-14 win after coming into the game as 8.5-point underdogs.

Next weekend, the 4-1 Gophers will head to West Lafayette to take on the Purdue Boilermakers.

If they win? Well, buckle up.
